Floyd Hansen

Age 71, of White Bear Lake died peacefully at home surrounded by family on March 30, 2025, after living valiantly with cancer for eight years.

He was preceded in death by parents Herbert and Evelyn Hansen. He is survived by wife of 45 years, Sally; children, Julie (Dave) Harman, Brian Hansen (Sarah Campbell), and Scott (Erin) Hansen; grandchildren, David, Evelyn, Patrick, Harriet, Rosalind, Gabriel, Daniel, Mary Therese, and Andrew; and sisters, Cindy (Jim) Mueller and Sherri (Mike) Kelly.

Floyd grew up in Columbia Heights, MN, and played multiple sports for the Columbia Heights Hylanders before attending the University of Minnesota. Floyd spent 27 years of his career in Admin Services for State Farm Insurance. When the Minnesota headquarters closed, Floyd began volunteering at Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, which developed into a second career as a Site Supervisor. He was an active volunteer for Bridging and Special Olympics Minnesota and a dedicated baseball coach for his sons. Floyd gave freely of his time; if anyone had a house project, he would be at the door in minutes with his tools. Floyd enjoyed cooking, traveling, and sports-especially if it involved watching his grandchildren play. He treasured all the time he spent at the family cabin, creating many memories with annual family cabin Olympic events, Halloween costume parties, and cooking everyone a special "Ninibac" breakfast. Floyd lived a life of virtue, joy, and love. He would be the first to say that he had a beautiful life and was so very fortunate.

A visitation will be held from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. on April 11th at Bradshaw Celebration of Life Center, 2800 Curve Crest Blvd., Stillwater. At Floyd's request, a private service will follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity or Bridging.
